The roughly 150 planners and hospitality partners who attended FICP's 2008 Education Forum at the lovely Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts in Orlando June 18-20, had an intense learning and networking experience with takeaways on many levels.
The forum's 17 educational sessions and interactive general sessions were aimed at helping participants to achieve their leadership potential. In a variety of formats, workshops tackled diverse topics that ranged from corporate social responsibility to ethics to creative food and beverage. FICP's Vice President Membership Dan Young was the entertaining emcee.
Attendees also had the chance to experience some of what Disney has to offer for meetings and incentive programs, including a presentation on leadership excellence by the Disney Institute and a spectacular event and dinner backstage at Epcot. In a popular breakout, culinary experts from the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin demonstrated fresh ideas for events, and an Italian-themed final evening reception and dinner was held at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando.
Kim Boriin, CMP, Guardian Investor Services LLC and FICP vice president, education, announced that next year's forum will take place at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo., June 21-23.

Actually, more than one funny thing happened during my visit to the Kentucky State Fair, and none of them particularly on the way there. I would imagine at any State Fair, you'd expect to be humored and well-fed at the very least. I don't know what entices your average bear to such an attraction, but I willingly paid cash money for a ticket with the prior knowledge that I would be hot, crowded and most likely standing in a pile of animal feces. These are three things to which I've never quite warmed but I was lured to endure them in order to cheer on my 8 year old cousin, Kaitlyn, as she showed her prize-winning sheep, KeeKee. I don't claim to know anything about the practice of showing sheep, but the child is kind of my whole life and it sounded a little like a beauty pageant for sheep, so you know I'm in.
I'm always on the lookout for denim trends; it's my hobby and it's my job and I lucked into combining the two! Having already filed away a mental post-it in regard to how many denim skirts had been chosen as the look du jour, I stumbled upon the largest pair of blue jeans I had ever seen styled with a denim shirt and a red scarf. I don't think it can officially be considered a "Texas Tuxedo" if a blue jean jacket isn't part of the composition, but what we have here is denim-on-denim, which is just fine by me in any case. The style maven sporting the monochromatic ensemble I have since come to know, is Freddy Farm Bureau and I guess he is a local icon that has been rocking this look at the KY State Fair for something like 54 years. It should be said that he is an 18 ft. tall robot or something kind of like one.
I stood there and stared at Freddy for a while trying to figure out how many outfits I could make out of the denim material that comprised his 68 inch inseam, and I snapped this pic for my friend and fellow denim-lover, Kris, so she could see these huge jeans! Somewhere between fashioning a fantasy denim wardrobe and re-teaching myself how to operate my cell phone camera, I heard a little girl sneak up beside me and say aloud, "I love you Freddy." I didn't even have time to get mad that this chick was flirting with my new boyfriend when I heard a voice come from the general direction of the crotch of those jeans, "I love you too!" Wait, what?!!!? I was the only one around that seemed alarmed by the sound. Was I the only one that heard it? I decided to test my theory. Out of my own throat sprang the words, "How are you, Freddy?" "I'm fine. How are you?" He responded. I screamed and ran away.
I never really learned what the deal is with Freddy and the internet isn't giving up any of his secrets. I like to think there is some kind of great and powerful denim-clad wizard living in those pants. I wish I had asked for something expensive at least. As it turns out, I became pretty distracted by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Deep Fried Derby Pie, Funnel Cakes, Deep Fried Oreos and many more deep fried dishes all washed down with Deep Fried Kool-Aid. The next time I thought about Freddy, it was because I suspected I might actually need to borrow his pants having outgrown mine. Then, once again when I thought I might just need a change of pants as I exited a poorly-constructed roller coaster. I've had some time since to think some more about Freddy and his denim outfit. He sits there on his hay bale every year, not as a fashion statement, but as a representative of the over 500,000 farmers in the state of Kentucky. Denim fads come and go but the Farmer has pretty much stayed committed to it as a uniform through the years. Forget jogging pants, gym shorts or yoga pants; just give them a sturdy pair of blue jeans and they will put food on your table like magic.
As for Kaitlyn and KeeKee, they took 3rd place in Showmanship and 2nd place in Market. I don't like to think of what the term "market" actually means for KeeKee (I'm sad that it's not Market, like when we go to Vegas to shop for new clothes to feature in the shop), but I will always imagine her showing off in that ring with Kaitlyn handling her like a seasoned pro, clad in her best pair of blue jeans.

Not dead drunk, undead drunk
Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Police were called to what looked like a woman shot dead in her car but found a Halloween reveler they described as drunk and passed out in a bloody-looking zombie costume.

I heard what you said. I'm not the silly romantic you think. I don't want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don't want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

The phrase "God-with-us" is normally ascribed to Jesus, but I like the phrase as a description of God's spirit. In 1600 CE, Socinianism defined the spirit as "energy flowing from God to man." I agree with that definition; God's spirit is a power or an influence.read more
During the fourth century, Christianity digressed from the concept of one God into the vague and mysterious doctrine of the Trinity. The Catholic Church reportedly devised the Trinitarian doctrine to answer the charge of worshipping three gods – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Trinitarianism became a part of the Roman Catholic doctrine as a result of the first ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325 CE.read more
The terms faith and beliefs are sometimes used interchangeably, but I think it is useful to make a distinction between them. Beliefs are things you think are true, like "I believe in God." "I believe that there is life after death." These are improvable opinions (or they would be accepted by all as "facts"). A list can be made of beliefs.read more
I've done much thinking of my own. Though not an expert nor having a theological degree (I am a former psychologist), I would like to share the listing I came up with that, to me, contrasts Biblical fundamentalism with what I perceive Progressive Christianity to be. Later in life, my listing may allow room for changes as I continue to grow spiritually.read more
All of the great mystics and spiritual teachers like Jesus and Buddha were clear……authentic spiritual growth is not something that can be given to us. No one else can do the work for us. We have to discover, and then embrace, the courage required to take the inner journey; to shine the light of our consciousness into the shadows of our egoic mind. This is not a journey for the feint of heart.read more
There is a strange silence in churches about biblical and theological scholarship. A huge knowledge gap exists between the pulpit and the pew. Consequently, many Christians cannot reconcile their belief system with modernity. Paul Jones explores seven secrets that jeopardize the nature and purpose of the church. These secrets, he asserts, must be exposed to restore the church to vigor and vitality.read more
In 2008, Willamette University purchased 305 acres of forest and farmland in the Eola Hills of Oregon. Zena Forest and Farm, as it is known, became the subject of an interdisciplinary course taught at Willamette University, in which students collaboratively wrote a comprehensive history of Zena, focusing on relationships between people and the land. The result is this book: both a story of a remarkable place and an example of place-based, student-driven pedagogy.read more

The traditional Christian church with its traditional message and image is becoming increasingly irrelevant. It happened in Europe a long time ago, and is happening now in the US. More and more people who try to do good identify themselves as secular humanists rather than Christians. More and more Christians identify themselves as progressives for whom the traditional gospel story is meaningless. It really is time to rethink and reform how we understand both church and world.read more

The dry bones raised by Ezekiel are a metaphor for those who died in the service of God's justice: those who died working to restore God's distributive justice-compassion to God's Earth, and who themselves never saw the transformation. The army of dry bones is an army exiled from justice. Fairness demands that if Jesus was resurrected into an Earth transformed into God's realm of justice-compassion, then all the other martyrs who died too soon should also be raised with him. "But in fact," Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:20, "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died." It is the Christ – the transformed and transfigured post-Easter Jesus – who has started that general resurrection, which restores justice-compassion to a transformed Earth. The transformation has begun with Jesus, and continues with you and me – IF we sign on to the program.read more
For the last 18 months I have interviewed or have corresponded with people who are either leading a small group or are part of a small group that meets on a regular basis for community and spiritual direction. I plan to continue to do this with more groups and in more depth. My hope is that we can gain more information from a variety of groups to see what is working and what is not. Most of the information I gained from these interviews so far comes from groups who have been meeting on a regular basis for more than a year. In a couple of cases they have been meeting for over a decade. I am certain I will be revising my thoughts on some of this but I wanted to share what I have learned so far.read more
The lyrics of the hymns and praise and worship songs of the church are, outside of the Bible, the way most people establish their belief system, which is reflected in the way they think about and live their faith. The lyrics may be good or bad, perceptive or trite, and may or may not teach sound theological concepts. Christians should carefully consider what they are singing because it shapes their theological perspective whether they realize it or not.read more

We need to acknowledge that the final week in Jesus' life is a blending of separate biblical accounts.

The social world order seems to erupt in chaos and violence on a regular basis these days. Regimes hold on to political power at all costs, while those who are more often than not economically oppressed demonstrate and confront government forces with little more than their willingness to stand in opposition.
If this all sounds like pure political commentary, consider this: The socio-political landscape in first century Palestine, CE, wasn't much different. The practical means by which the imbalance of power was wielded by some over others may have been rather primitive by today's technological standards; but the end game was the same.
The itinerant Jewish peasant teacher and sage who would long be remembered as uttering such impractical non-sense as "turn the other cheek" and "love your enemy," was the same historical figure that was executed as an insurrectionist, not a "resurrectionist." As I've put it bluntly elsewhere, Jesus didn't die for our sins, but because of them.
But the historical Jesus's message deviated so radically from the "you have heard it said, but I say to you" literary device employed that it constituted a world view that did not simply turn everything upside down; but attempted to right what becomes a distorted "default" assumption of human nature that too easily concedes it is only human instinct to regard ourselves as prejudicial and self-centered creeps.
Jesus' teachings to "turn the other cheek" and "love one's enemies" is an invitation to an inward journey of the self; and a call to reclaim our true huma n nature.read more

Adele repeats with year's top-selling album on iTunes
NEW YORK -- It may be 2012, but it's a repeat of 2011 for Adele: Once again, she has the year's top-selling album on iTunes.
Her 21, which recently passed the 10 million mark in sales, topped the list even though it was released at the top of 2011. It remained popular this year, particularly after she nabbed six Grammys in February.
In the world of apps, Angry Birds Space was king of the top-paid iPhone and iPad apps, while those looking for freebies made YouTube the top iPhone app and Skype the most popular iPad app.
Elsewhere, the top-selling movie was The Hunger Games; the bestselling TV show was an episode of The Walking Dead from Season 3; and the top TV series purchased for a season and a season's pass was Downton Abbey, Season 2.

Getting started
Regular vacuum cleaners remove loose dirt, but they hardly touch the dirt and oils that stick to carpet fibers. Carpet cleaners are supposed to go a step further: They typically spray on a detergent, sometimes working it in with moving brushes then vacuum up the dirty solution.
A machine's effectiveness depends in part on how aggressively it scrubs to loosen dirt and how powerfully its suction pulls dirt in. But too much aggressiveness could damage carpeting. (Powerful suction doesn't pose such a problem.) Some of the machines we've tested don't get at dirt at the bottom of a carpet, but instead remove mainly what you see near the surface.

For example: To receive messages relating to only Health products, then send sms START 4 to 1909. Similarly, for receiving messages relating to Education, send sms START 3 to 1909.
On successful registration, user will receive an SMS confirming exercised options and a Unique Registration Number within 24 hrs. The registration will be effective within 7 days of placing the request with the service provider.
Now that a Sender-ID cannot be used for branding, here is one idea to help the user identify the company/brand which has sent the message.
The first word of the message can be of the company's/brand's name. Most of phones show a preview panel in the inbox screen, in which first few characters of the message are visible to the user without opening the message.
Image example showing how the user (receiver) sees it:

Research Program Alignment
- Non-programmatically Aligned

Research Interests
- Performed statistical analysis on over a hundred cases of tumors or other lesions to show significant relationships. Currently available technology, including array comparative genomic hybridization as well as fluorescence in-situ hybridization and immunostaining, allows a deeper understanding for diagnosis and for classification. Sorting out these issues often has a direct and immediate relationship to prognosis and clinical management, such as with oligodendrogliomas and their chromosomal deletion status. Newly emerging brain tumor entities are being understood by use of the available technology. Laboratory methods help to show differences of emerging entities from current classification but also similarities so that some of these �new� tumors can be understood as subcategories of traditional tumors. Therefore, cutting edge tumor analysis in the laboratory translates into the most appropriate diagnosis from which clinical management is planned. Clinical and laboratory information that together suggest a category for a �non-traditional� brain tumor will go beyond the �malignant glioma� moniker for increasing numbers of patients and this information requires sophisticated new laboratory methods now under development.

Learn How to Eliminate That Annoying 'Frog-in-the-Throat' Feeling, Why Your Over-the-Counter Anti Histamine Could Be Making The Problem Even Worse, and Why Post Nasal Drip Is Guaranteed To Affect Your Breath!
It never fails – when colds and sniffles start, bad breath soon follows. In fact, they go "hand in hand". It all has to do with Post Nasal Drip and how the human body is designed. First of all, let me define "post nasal drip" because some of you may not be familiar with the term. Post Nasal Drip occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the nasal mucosa. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis (allergic or non-allergic) or sinusitis (acute or chronic).
There are several key connections between Post Nasal Drip and bad breath. First of all mucus is a protein. The bacteria that create bad breath use proteins as a fuel to create the "smells" in bad breath. Through the breakdown of proteins, chemicals such as Hydrogen Sulfide (the rotten egg smell) are produced. Consequently, the more post nasal drip – the more mucus – the more odor.
Secondly, the mucus drains down the throat. The back of the tongue (which resides in the throat) is the home of these anaerobic bacteria. They are constantly bathed in these secretions. During an allergy attack, sinusitis, or rhinitis, mucus will start to be produced. Instead of it dripping out the front of the nose, it may start to slide down the throat. This is a classic example of Post (meaning behind) Nasal (the nose) Drip (leaking). Post Nasal Drip (or PND). Mucus draining down the back of the throat over the back of the tongue where the bad breath bacteria live. They feed off the proteins in mucus and create strong odors.
The worst case scenario is when the offender may have large cryptic tonsils. These are tonsils with deep crevices that have been trapping bacteria for many years. Furthermore, these crevices can also trap post nasal drip over time. When the mucus from post nasal drip accumulates and mixes with anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria in these deep pits (a great breeding ground for odors, by the way) a condition is ripe for production of tonsil stones – or tonsilloliths as they are known technically. They are literally "globs" of mucus that have hardened over time, but during that period those globs have mixed with bacterial debris to create an extremely odorous concoction. Without Post Nasal Drip, tonsil stones could not be formed.
The simplest method to eliminate the problem is through the TheraBreath Tonsil Stone Kit which contains elements that address the Post Nasal Drip directly. The Kit contains TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Drops, an oxygenating formula that by-passes the oral cavity to attack the area where mucus and bacteria interact. It also contains AktivOxigen tablets which allow the throat to be bathed with oxygenating liquids to clean out the throat/tonsil area. There are also daily TheraBreath formulas to keep your breath fresh and clean.
Scientifically, the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath love the amino acids cysteine and methionine, which are the building blocks of the proteins that are found in mucus, phlegm, and dairy foods. In fact, many people notice that when they drink too much milk or eat too much cheese they end up with more mucus/phlegm in their throat (see my article on Foods that may cause bad breath). This is a natural reaction for many people and unfortunately, ends up causing more bad breath and awful tastes.
If you still have your tonsils, you may be harboring a higher number of the bacteria which can lead to a very misunderstood phenomenon called tonsilloliths. They are tonsil stones produced by the conglomeration of mucus draining down the back of the throat and the volatile sulfur compounds created by the bacteria which easily end up in the nooks and crannies of the tonsils every time one swallows. Countless times my patients told me that their dentists misdiagnosed these and told them that these were merely food particles. This couldn't be further from the truth! For more information, see my article about Tonsil Stones.
If you suffer from excess mucus, sinus congestion and post nasal drip there are essentially only a few different routes that you can take:
1. Use medication and or drugs to dry up the sinuses and prevent mucus buildup - all the while being careful to avoid a dry mouth, a likely side-effect of virtually all antihistamines. Dry mouth is the most common initiator of bad breath because it mimics an anaerobic environment, perfect for the bacteria to pump out Volatile Sulfur Compounds. You should be careful about using any antihistamine frequently - many are habit forming!
2. Use TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Formula. By squeezing 3-4 drops into each nostril (and then lightly inhaling to move the potent formula through the sinuses) twice daily, most people can finally experience that fresh breath and taste feeling by eliminating the production of sulfur compounds created by the reaction of mucus and the anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria.
3. For chronic sinus problems, many patients will find relief by using the Hydropulse® (an amazingly effective Nasal-Sinus Irrigator, designed by an Ear Nose & Throat specialist) to flush the sinuses. (It works even better when you add just 2-3 drops of AktivOxigen serum into the trough before each use.)
4. Minimize the amount of post-nasal drip in your throat and sinuses, and eliminate the #1 side effect of excess mucus, bad breath, by using oxygenating oral care products, such as TheraBreath, TheraBreath PLUS, AktivOxigen, PerioTherapy, and TheraBrite. Medication and drugs may help prevent post-nasal drip, but at what cost?
There are dozens of different over-the counter nasal decongestants and antihistamines that you can use to help relieve congestion and dry up excess mucus. Some of them do what their manufacturers claim they can do, but most of them perform the job too well! They create an extremely dry mouth, which exacerbates bad breath. Even in cases where the dry mouth side effect is minimal, when you stop taking that medication, the problem often comes back even worse! This is because in some cases your body will actually develop a resistance to any antihistamines or nasal decongestants, especially nasal sprays (be careful, because many sprays are habit forming, but NOT TheraBreath formulas)!
The solution to the problem is to use a Nasal-Irrigator such as the Hydropulse® to Flush Your Sinuses free from Excess Mucus.
Nasal Irrigation is probably the most effective method of eliminating post-nasal drip and helping to control sinus infections. The Hydro Pulse Sinus Irrigator is an FDA registered device supported by over 37 published medical reports. The unique pulsatile irrigation of the Hydro Pulse helps to restore ciliary function and relieve post nasal drip. A short period of regular use can stimulate the cilia (the tiny hair-like fibers in the nasal sinus passages) to restore their natural protective "sweeping & cleansing" action.
When you feel a sinus condition come about, or feel that you have persistent post-nasal drip and excess mucus, consistent daily use for 10 days should result in a clearing of the condition.
For best results, we recommend a combination of this easy-to-use home instrument with an oxygenating solution such as AktivOxigen serum.
Stop Bad Breath Associated with Post-Nasal Drip, Excess Mucus, and Sinus Problems
For people who don't really have sinus problems, just "off and on" or seasonal post-nasal drip, then an alternative (and better) solution might be to minimize the amount of excess mucus in the back of the throat and more importantly to make sure to neutralize the odor caused by this excess mucus.
The proteins in mucus make an excellent food source for the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath. The bacteria feed off the amino acids, methionine and cysteine, and create extremely odorous and awful tasting volatile sulfur compounds as byproducts, which are the odors and awful tastes found in the medical condition 'halitosis,' which is more commonly known as bad breath.
There are three key formulas that most of my patients find extremely effective at neutralizing the odor caused by post-nasal drip:
Nasal-Sinus Drops Eliminate Odor from The Sinuses - These drops are highly effective at cleansing the sinuses (a very hard-to-reach area) of the volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.
AktivOxigen Serum Creates an Unflavored Oral Rinse to Cleanse the Back of the Throat - This serum makes an unflavored oral rinse that you can actually swallow - this gets much deeper down in the throat than just regular rinsing, and it will actually help break down post-nasal drip congestion and excess mucus in the throat.
TheraBreath Extinguisher Spray With Its Patented 6.9cm Spray Nozzle Reaches The Back of the Tongue Where Few Other Sprays Can Reach - The Extinguisher Spray has been extremely popular - its patented 6.9 cm Extinguisher Nozzle applicator is very effective at applying the formulas to the back of the throat and tonsils, which is a very common problem area for people with post nasal drip and excess mucus.
When I first started treating my own daughter's breath problem 10 years ago, I never dreamed that I would end up helping so many people all over the world who had the same problem that was often misdiagnosed by other dentists for far too long. It was only a few years into our clinical therapy that I realized that every case of bad breath is different and that there is no such thing as one formula to treat every case of halitosis.
We've been here for the last 10 years to help our patients prevent bad breath, sinus congestion, and awful tastes, and we'll be here for many more years to come. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact us - that's why we're here!

Abstract: In this study honeycomb-like NiO nanostructures were grown on nickel foam by a simple hydrothermal growth method. The NiO nanostructures were characterized by field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The characterized NiO nanostructures were uniform, dense and polycrystalline in the crystal phase. In addition to this, the NiO nanostructures were used in the development of a zinc ion sensor electrode by functionalization with the highly selective zinc ion ionophore 12-crown-4. The developed zinc ion sensor electrode has shown a good linear potentiometric response for a wide range of zinc ion concentrations, ranging from 0.001 mM to 100 mM, with sensitivity of 36 mV/decade. The detection limit of the present zinc ion sensor was found to be 0.0005 mM and it also displays a fast response time of less than 10 s. The proposed zinc ion sensor electrode has also shown good reproducibility, repeatability, storage stability and selectivity. The zinc ion sensor based on the functionalized NiO nanostructures was also used as indicator electrode in potentiometric titrations and it has demonstrated an acceptable stoichiometric relationship for the determination of zinc ion in unknown samples. The NiO nanostructures-based zinc ion sensor has potential for analysing zinc ion in various industrial, clinical and other real samples.

compact, elegant, functional, & durable
This is my second Bosca wallet. It's the same style that I had before except that it has an accented trim (with that same color on the interior). I really like the contrast that Bosca put into this Montreal design.
The dimensions are perfect. I can hold 10-15 bills, 4 cards on each side and a few miscellaneous cards w/in the interior pockets. Yet, the bifold still maintains its slim profile so I hardly feel it in my back pocket. And it won't cause any unsightly marks/creases in my jean pockets over time, which I appreciate. I bought another one in a different color just as a back up.
Originally, I had tried a Jack Spade just to switch things up but soon realized that Bosca works best for me.

I have a h264 video and i tried it yesterday with 0.7 and it worked fine!
Today i installed perian for testing mkv and replaced the original Apple h264 driver (or just disabled?).
I had to decide it at the install menu for perian. Either perian or Apple.
I installed Quicktime then and set the mplayer mode to mixed. Some mkv´s are working, some are jerking (at xbmc the same mkv is not so much jerking, but also a little bit).
But after that nitotv drops back to menu when i try the same h264 video!
I deinstalled perian (with the ATV-Perian-Install.sh) but NitoTV still crashes!
Someone can help me?
Have AppleTV 2.3 version!

Electronic Device Purchasing (EDP)
What is an EDP?
Electronic Device Purchasing (EDP) is a form which is used to review the technology being purchased at Albany State University. This process will ensure that ITS is able to efficiently support the technology being purchased and that it will be able to work with existing campus infrastructure.
What needs an EDP?
Definition of Information Technology
What purchases do NOT require an EDP?
There may be some technology related purchases that may not require an EDP approval. These purchases are in reference to maintenance and contract renewals. For instance:
- Renewal of existing software maintenance contracts.
- Twelve month hardware maintenance contracts.
- New or renewals of copier contracts.
- Purchase of printer supplies
How can I get a quote for my technology request?
There are three ways that you can receive a quote for your technology purchase.
- Click on this link for Technology Purchases.
- Click on this link for a listing of the Purchasing Programs offered through the institution agreement with various vendors.
- Contact ITS Helpdesk to connect with an IT Advisor.
Can I put multiple items on one EDP?
Yes. If you are buying a PC, a printer, and software, all of those items can be submitted on one EDP.
Does EDPs require special approval?
All purchases over the amount of $ 100,000.00 will be approved first by ASU VP/CIO. After ASU VP/CIO approves the request, it will then be submitted to USG VC/CIO via the SharePoint CIO Advisory Council Team. The USG VC/CIO normally approves IT requests within four (4) business days of receipt. A signed letter containing the decision will be emailed to the institution president or his/her designee once a decision is reached.
How do I submit an EDP?
Submitting an EDP requires a few simple steps:
- Request a quote (If additional assistance is needed, please contact ITS for an IT Advisor)
- Complete the EDP form
- Send the original copy, a completed request for purchase and the quote to ITS-JPL 120.
What happens after I submit my EDP?
- Once your EDP is received, it will be reviewed by the Office Services staff and assigned a tracking number. If all necessary information is included, then it will be submitted to the VP, CIO for approval.
- After approval signatures have been received, the EDP will be returned to the requesting department for final processing with Title III or Fiscal Affairs.
What happens if my EDP is not approved?
The EDP packet will be returned with an explanation for the reason why the purchase was not approved. In addition, a solution will be provided.
How long does an EDP take to process?
All request for purchases are tracked to ensure the needs are timely addressed. Based on the simplicity of the technology request, it takes 3-5 business days for approval.

Depends on how much labor and time went into making the commission IMO
Its kind of a self-worth question though. If you don't think you're worth more than $30, you won't get more than $30, even though you should be getting more. You are ripping yourself off in a sense
How many hours do you usually spend on one? How much effort and concentration per hour? maybe you ate a few things while doing it. How much did the food cost?
If the commission earns enough money to buy back the things you used to make the commission (electricity, food, internet, etc), then thats good, but you could charge more and profit from it (I think thats where people liking your style/you being famous comes in) because then your pictures have added special value
again this is just how I look at it: if you don't think you are worth anything, why should others think you are? *shrug*
I agree with whoever said you are undercharging. A full color from you is at least $45, you make amazing armor and accessories

It's a new age for the stage, Grandma. The corset's coming off.
In the wake of a marketing study, the Omaha Community Playhouse has decided to shake up a sometimes stodgy image.
Starting this fall, the Playhouse's smaller Howard Drew Theater will venture into cutting-age, contemporary and sometimes risqué waters, opening its new season with Tracy Letts' profane Pulitzer Prize winner "August: Osage County."
Mainstream shows, such as musicals "Legally Blonde" and "The Wizard of Oz," will continue to fill the Hawks Mainstage. These types of shows — aimed at families and an older, more traditional audience — have long been a mainstay in both performance spaces.
The marketing study, completed last year by Omaha advertising firm Bailey Lauerman, found that respondents had a split perception of the Playhouse. Officials at the Playhouse said they conduct such studies periodically to assess the nature of their image and audience.
Season members surveyed in the study thought the Playhouse was on the right page and were complimentary, said Carl Beck, the Playhouse's artistic director. Many people have held season tickets for decades.
"The counterpoint was nonmembers who rarely or never frequent the Playhouse," Beck said. "They said we were behind the times, not with it, something their grandmothers did — but not of primary interest to them."
If the Omaha Community Playhouse were a cocktail, one focus group member bluntly said, it would be a gin rickey, a classic 1930s drink.
The two-pronged season aims to reach a wider Playhouse audience while continuing to please its older, more traditional base. The change comes in the context of a season in which every show but one has exceeded financial expectations, Playhouse officials said.
"We decided to take the Playhouse in two definite directions," Beck said.
In recent years, the Playhouse chose its season partly by polling current audience members about what shows they most wanted to see. The new strategy marks a sharp departure from that method.
Starting in 2010, Playhouse staff and board members began talking about the community's perception of the theater brand to see if changes were necessary, said marketing director Katie Wortmann. The latest marketing study grew out of those discussions.
Playhouse President Tim Schmad and the board endorsed the programming shift. Board President Dave Kirkwood, a vice president of Tenaska, is among business leaders on the board who routinely look at branding image in their own firms.
Longtime Playhouse patrons often have criticized shows that contain profanity or frank sexual themes, threatening not to come anymore, associate director Susan Baer Collins said. Others criticized show selections as too safe, not adventurous enough.
In 2010, the Playhouse launched its 21 & Over series of staged readings of plays and a monthly play-discussion group. Both featured contemporary works with mature themes. The events brought many new — and younger — faces to the Playhouse, Beck said. The popularity of that series also influenced the decision for change.
"August: Osage County," the Pulitzer winner, and "boom," a doomsday comedy by Peter Nachtrieb, are 21 & Over selections that will be included in next year's Howard Drew season.
Like other arts organizations, the Playhouse has suffered during times of economic hardship. When the recession hit in late 2008, corporate and individual donations fell. Playhouse officials saw scheduling popular fare as a way to maximize ticket revenue during a budget crunch.
Now, Beck said, the branding shift is about survival too, just as safer choices were.
"Who will the Playhouse audience be 10 or 15 years from now?" he asked.
Playhouse season-ticket sales have fallen from a 1992-93 high of 12,289 to 4,711 this season. That matches a national shift away from season subscriptions and toward single-ticket sales, which Playhouse officials said have risen dramatically there in recent years. They said they didn't have single-ticket figures readily available.
When the Playhouse's smaller performance space opened in the early 1980s, Wortmann said, it was envisioned as a theater for experimentation, more adventurous works, new titles and taking risks. Now it will become just that.
Wortmann said the new programming concept will help the Playhouse reach a larger part of the community and not just its core demographic.
"And we want to do more adventurous works that are sometimes not offered in this region. That's what I'm most excited about," Beck said.
The new branding is an effort to guide people toward the kind of theater they want.
"We hope lots of people find they enjoy both kinds of shows," Beck said. "But we don't want them to wander into the Howard Drew and be offended."

Garys Corner of Tosa
Since moving to the 4th district in 1998 my wife and I have witnessed many big changes in our neighborhood. More big changes loom over us and I will be writing about them here.
Hey look Ma I'm blogging.
Hey look Ma I'm writing a blog. Once my Mom has seen some of the things I'll be writing about, and saying she'll say "Gary" your going to make some people mad. Oh I know Mom but I don't know any way around it. I began writing my blog over a week ago but I got cold feet. I think I have to ease myself into it and get warmed up.
I chose the title Gary's Corner of Tosa because we live at the intersection of Martin Drive and North 62nd Street. I plan on writing about my experiences, observations, and the many questions I have. For instance Grede Foundry why is it still there operating? We see concern in the news about butter flies and the need to call the hazardous material team out because of dangerous fumes from a meth lab. Isn't anyone else concerned about this Foundry? I have cancer does anyone else have cancer who lives down wind of Grede? I recently asked the EPA if the foundry pollution was safe to breath? They didn't know. They would have to spend $40,000 to do air monitoring and it would take a year. I guess we aren't worth it. The DNR says Grede Liberty foundry is in compliance with the law, but still they can't say if the air is safe to breath down wind.
Good comments, but some I've heard before.
Lets see I got a few comments supporting the foundry it looks like. But none regarding the issue is the foundry holding up redevelopment around it, and is the pollution dangerous to our health?
I guess I can understand the commenter's being anonymous. I'm not saying any could work for Grede or they they had a business relationship with Grede although one said he'd had in the past. It does make it easier to be wrong too.
Jogging Arborist's In Tosa
This week in our neighborhood we've seen unusual joggers. Unusual because of how many, and the blue collar work cloths they wear instead of the usual fitness related garb one would expect to see around here. My wife has been exchanging good mornings as they all pass her by on her way to work. Some of the 20 or more past her by a little slower then the rest. And I think the dogs on Martha Washington between Vliet and Martin Dr. all got woken up earlier then they are used to.
It turns out that these men and women are Urban Arborist trainees. As I understand it's a combination non-profit and Milwaukee City Government program where the trainees get a salary while they train and upon completion are guaranteed job in the private sector. The training is taking place at Hawthorne Glen Nature center. It's a 23 acre nature preserve owned by the Milwaukee School District where 12,000 school children visit on field trips every year. It's also down wind of Grede Foundry and in past years many of those children, their teachers, and parents had to have asked what is that terrible smell and learned something unexpected in a nature preserve for children about foundry pollution.

Egads, I see what you mean. I didn't really bother to draw up reference points so I just sort of winged the perspective, but now it's more or less fixed I think. Thanks very much.
Lotsa cool stuff,
but if you want to become a designer you should really pay attention to linear perspective, and use it whenever you're in doubt about something. It'll take you just a minute or two two plot it out, I guess it took you longer than that to re-paint it three times?
SPOILER! :This may not have been the shape you wanted for the platform, but it's just to show how simple it is to do.
I'm looking forward to the turbo cute girls

Very nice. I'm not to experince in this type of art, but it looks pretty awesome!
I love it! It looks great! How you can imagine such things I don't understand xD
your artworks are eye candies. the mech is wonderful.
can't wait for Casshern sketch to be colored. awesome foreshortening. although i find his left hand too small for the distance implied by the rest of the body... maybe when i see the colored one it wouldnt be odd... nice gesture drawing, really fluid. you even have highights and shadows blocked in your sketch... you're quite precise with your drawings considering the looseness of it all. that's awesome.

Hum. It's a bit hard to find what to say, since it's still a bit gribbly and all... But the perspective is pretty spot on. Perhaps his left hand is a little too small still? His waist also might need shrinking, but the lines are pretty unfinished there anyhow. Overall it's quite nice.
Also, totally makes me want to repeatedly yell "CASHAAAN!~ CASHAAAN!~"
Such an awesome sketch! No critiques, but personally I think you made the original look really badass in this sketch
It's a little old, but I don't think anybody will be too angry for me posting new stuff here.
